Holm Astrology has been creating "Astrology" and "Food For Thought" posts for over 10 years.  Wix has taken over the Vista Print websites and as a result of the migration of our information, a large portion of our blog posts are currently lost. 

 

We realize our Astrology posts are vital to our students. 

 

If you do not find what you are looking for on this Blog page, please visit www.holmastrology.blogspot.com/ where you will find our missing blog posts.  There are over 2,660 posts pre September, 2023.

We apologize for the inconvenience but it is worth the jump over to our blogspot.


Learning the difference between what we can control and what we cannot control can be a difficult lesson. Do your best. Acknowledge you are human. Acceptance can be a beautiful thing when appropriate and bring needed relief.
WHAT WE CAN CONTROL AND WHAT WE CANNOT

There are things in life that are completely out of your control.  They often happen when you are least expecting them.  You might experience a car accident, loss of your job, or on the other side of the coin, get a promotion, receive confirmation that your cancer is in remission and most importantly experiencing peace when you least expected it.

 

Many of us want control over everything but more often than not, we are at the mercy of circumstance.

 

Life happens. Situations change. We can blame ourselves for every event (but why?) and take ownership of things we do not own. Perhaps others are involved and our intentions were deeply wanting to assist, for example, but they had no impact. Have we not all blamed ourselves for someone passing-over because we might have been able to do just one more thing different to change the situation? That is grief. Recognize it as such. Sometimes we can give it our best and things still move in a manner that is anything but what we had hoped for.

 

Step back and look with your eyes and not your heart. Many life situations are out of our hands. Each of these events and hardships have lessons for us, however.  Is that lesson “to experience and let go”?

 

Learning the difference between what we can control and what we cannot control can be a difficult lesson. Do your best. Acknowledge you are human. Acceptance can be a beautiful thing when appropriate and bring needed relief.

Wherever natal Uranus resides in your birth chart, it often suggests an element of surprise and a unique quality.  Often there is something rather distance or unusual about its placement, and when change is required in that area of life, which is dictated by the house position, it can bring about needed change in a rather unexpected manner.  It is important to realize that any change that is brought forth is required, and the timing of events indicated by the astrology chart is when it is appropriate for this to take place as the energies are in place.

 

Jupiter tends to make these “over the top”.  There is nothing minor about Jupiter and its tendency is to bring about change, which is Uranus’ requirement, in big ways.  Jupiter’s energies will be fortunate because of the energies of the Sextile which is the focus of this article.  A Sextile suggests that, although the opportunities are often right in front of you, it will be up to you to make things happen. 

 

The changes may be abrupt and unexpected, but they are what is needed. Over time, you will note how true this is, but it may take some time to be able to relate or connect to what has been brought forth, even though it is due. 

 

Jupiter is philosophical in its nature and may connect with religious inclinations, spiritual insight, especially if Neptune is favourably aspected and forms a connection to this placement.

 

Transiting Jupiter sextile natal Uranus can bring about big, sudden change. You must help the energy along, as work is required but resist impulsiveness.
Transiting Jupiter Sextile Natal Uranus

If, for example, natal Uranus was in the seventh house, which is traditionally the house of marriage and partnership, and transiting Jupiter is moving through the fifth house, a relationship may move to another level.  Regardless of how this might look (favorable or unfavorable), an example might be a relationship that is past its time, or a relationship that is beginning to bud. Changes take hold and a new beginning begins to unfold.  Children could also be involved in the equation with our example.

 

The Astrological houses tell the story and the potential found in the natal chart may now be fulfilled.

It is not always on you but take ownership when it is. Everyone is responsible for their own actions and choices. Stop blaming yourself when it is not your fault. It is not on you!
IT IS NOT ON YOU

It is important to take ownership of our actions. In some circumstances, however, the actions of others directly influence those with little or no choice in the matter.

 

In many cases, it takes two to tango, so the saying goes. If it is two parties taking action or acting out, then both parties need to take responsibility for what has taken hold. 

 

It is also important to realize that you act for yourself.  It is just as important to recognize that it is not up to you to push someone else to make changes.  They must make their own decisions to take appropriate actions. We cannot force others to make changes to themselves or corrections to their actions. It can be frustrating to watch someone close being hurtful towards others (including you) or themselves.

 

Sometimes, people shoulder the blame for things they did not do or had no control over. How often do we overthink events and struggle to come up with alternative actions we could have taken to change an outcome that is already in the past (an outcome we had no decision in creating)? 

 

“If only I had made a phone call that day then Charlie (or some other loved one) may not have been in the car at that precise moment of impact” is a perfect example.  The events of life are not yours to own.

 

It is not always on you but take ownership when it is. Everyone is responsible for their own actions and choices. Stop blaming yourself when it is not your fault. It’s not on you!
